Here is a new Kickstarter Campaign for Carmageddon: Reincarnation, an upcoming return to this game of road rage planned by Stainless Games. The project is looking to raise $400,000 and has picked up over $72,000 already. Here's word on what they are scheming:

Carmageddon: Reincarnation is a re-boot of everything that made the original games such a blast to play. The new game will be inspired by the classic environments, cars, drivers and power-ups from the original, but dragged screaming and kicking into the current state of the rendered art. And of course, there will be a bunch of brand new STUFF too, including true rag-doll pedestrians and physics-based power-ups that let you mess with their limbs whilst wiping away the tears - of laughter!

Multiplayer was the hidden-treasure of Carmageddon back in the dark days of LAN parties, but will now be able to be enjoyed by almost all of our players, thanks to the entire planet going online since then. The single player game will be brilliant too, thanks to demented opponents with demented A.I. brains made from demented code written by demented programmers.

They haven't been able to make anything original or substantial over the past decade. They've been stuck doing low-budget remakes of old arcade games or cheap spin-offs of card/board games. Most of these games received solid reviews for what they were.

While true, that's 10 years worth of lack of experience with modern tools and design. On $400k.

As for solid reviews, Novadrone is probably one of the single worst games I've ever played, haha. The board game remakes were mostly solid reviews, but I don't know how you mess up Scrabble.
